SOMERSET,
BEFORE THE LEAVES FALL.
BY MAROARET K. SAKOSTRB.
I wonder if Oak and Mapls,
Willow and elm and all,
Are stirred at heart by the coming
Of the day their leaves must fall.
Do they think of the yellow whirlwind.
Or know of the crimson spray
Tbat shall be when chlU November
Bears all their leaves away ?
Perhaps beside the water
The willow bends, serene,
As when her young leaves glistened
In a midst of golden green.
But the brave old oak Is flashing
To a wlne-re4 dark and deep.
And maple and elm are blushing
The blush of a child asleep.
'-If die ws mast," the leaflets
Seem one by one to say,
"We will wear the colors of gladness
Until we pass away.
No eyes shall see us falter ;
And before we lay It d own.
We'll wear. In the sight of aU the earth.
The year's most kingly crown."
So, trees of the stately forest.
And trees by the trodden way,
Yoa are kindling Into glory
This soft autumnal day.
And we who gaze remember
Tbat more than all they lost,
To hearts and trees together,
JH.yeome through the ripening frost.
MISS PrTJT AM'S COtT.
It was a pretty creature; a delicate,
reddish yellow color, deepening to
jet black at its hoofs and ears, while
the long, graceful flowing tail and
waving, abundant mane, were deli
cately sbaded, catching pale amber
lights, in their highest curves, but
every hair toned down to soberest
chestnut at the ends.
It had large, soft eyes; fine, sleu
der limb3, and a gracelul, arching
neck; and no one knew its good
points better than its owner, Miss
Irene Putnam.
SLe was a staunch.straightforward,
Xew England spinster, as proper and
Puritanic as her name, and a very
brief acquaintance would show any
one ibat the had her own ideas of
life's proprieties, as stern and change
less us the "Laws of the Medes and
Persians."
This dainty colt was a part of . the
farm ttoek, and so was counted in
among Miss Putnam's possessions,
without any especial valuation, for
the farm had been left her by her
father, and hhc carried it on as suc
cessfully a3 he had ever done.
But Doctor Walden, living a
away, bad looked with longing
mile
eyes
upon tuc colt; Lis own Dorse was
growing old and dull, he felt that it
would be like a glimpse of new life to
bold the reins over tbat glossy back,
to watch the set of those fine ears,
the arching of the graceful neck.
"Thou sbalt not covet," he said to
himself, and lauarhed at the school
boy isb reproof; but all the same, be
wanted the colt.
At last be gathered up bis courage,
and stopped, one warm summer uight,
at the cow-yard barn, jus; us Miss
Putnam wa, coming out with five
or six shining tin milk pails on her
arms, to milk the cows that she
would not trust to any other hand.
"Good evening, Mis3 Putnam," 'said
the doctor.
The woman turned, not swift or
slow but with a firm, decided motion,
and looking the speaker full in the
face; said:
"Is anybody sick down to Hi
ram's ?"
"Xo, oh no; in fact, the village is
remarkably healthy this season, and
there are very few people sick any
where." "I a'm glad to here it. You spoke
so sudden, you startled me;" and as
though that settled the matter, she
moved on.
The docter coughed, whistled a
few notes, and then said:
"Miss Putnam!"
She rose with the milking stool in
her hand, and fixed her clear, ques
tioning eyes on him, but did not
speak.
"I was a-thinking tbat is, I don't
suppose it's any sort of use to say
anything about it, but I was a-won-
dering if you had ever thought of
selling that sorrel colt ofyours.."
A keen, satirical light shot into the
gray eyes, and with almost a langh,
she answered him:
"I don't know a' there's any law
against a man's buying a horse if he
wants to. You needn't stammer so
over it"
'Then you will sell him?"
"I did not say so."
"But you meant it you implied
it?"
"Xo " The word was prompt and
decisive, nnd the tone had a dash of
bitterness in it. "That colt was born
and brought cp on this farm same
as I was, and here he will do his
work, and live and die same as I
shall."
She sat down again as she said
this, and the doctor, still leaning on
the bars, could here the soft cbeel.
chcel, cbc-el-will-cbeel, as the milk
streamed into the pail, forced by the
firm grasp of Miss Putnam's strong
yet gentle fingers.
He thought how invaluable such a
calm, active, self-possessed woman
would be among 6ick people, espec
ially children, whose mothers were
generally panic-stricken, and utterly
useless.
He knew her house was neat as
waxwork, her farm well cared for,
but seldom the voice of ki'h or kin
was heard there, and never a little
child played around her door. Mu
sing tnus, he did not notice tbat the
pail was full until the straight, lithe
figure stood before him then recov
ering his consciousness, he said:
"1 beg your pardon, Miss Put
nam, I hope I have not offended
you."
"Xo," 6he answered, "I do not
take offence easily; but." and her
voice grew more bitter than before,
"I am not in the habit -of raising
stock to sell, and I hardly think it
weald pay, at my time of life, to
take up the business of a horse jock
ey." By this time she had taben another
pail, seated herself by another cow,
and was going on with her work.
Cheel-wecl, cheel-weel, went the
milk, with a sharp ring against the
bottom of the pail, and to this
tune the doctor walked away think
ing. The next day, calling to see a sick
child, he found it down with scarlet
fever, and before the week was out
a dozea more cases bad appeared.
rset
ESTABLISHED, 183
PA., WEDNESDAY,
ne was busy day and night, as Miss
Putnam heard by way or her birea
help: and one morning she saw him
DaB. urzirnr his fat. wheerv horse
alonir as fast as he coald.
"What a fool I am," she said, reso
lutely, "to keep that lazy little Sal
tan eatini? his head off while tbat
man really needs bim. He is a good
man, too; the drag of a set of shiftless
relations has kept him poor, but I
guess nobody ever knew him to re
fuse to help a person in trouble, ne
was kind to father;" her eyes soften
ed as she thought of the long and
weary illness through which she had
. , . r. I1T.1J
depended upon ur. t auea iur u
vice and assistance.
I'll give him the colt outright, as
my contribution toward helping the
sick whom he is always serving,"
and having reached this conclusion
Miss Putnam, having no one to con
sult, or even to inform, took a card,
and wrote upon it, in her clear, deli
cate hand:
"The poor ve have always with
yon." To them, through yoa, may
my life be devoted.
' Sultan.
"To Doctor Walden."
She fastened this securely to the
halter, and told Ebenezer Hollis,
i who worked for her, to take that
horse over to Doctor Walden's stable,
tie him carefally, and leave him.
"If you see bis mother," she aided,
"and she askes you anything about
the horse, tell her the Doctor has
traded for it, and that is all you need
to say."
There was no one to wonder at,
or find fault with anything Miss Put
nam chose to do, and yet she had
fretted herself almost into a fever
over the one impulsive and imprudent
act of her life, when in the early twi
light Doctor Walden stopped again
at her gate, and walking directly to
the porch where she stood, said grave
ly: "Miss Putnam, I have neither elo
quence nor skill to talk, but 1 need
you now, and if I could make you un
derstand how much confidence I have
in you, I think you would be willing
to sacrifice something of your pleas
ant life here for the good ot others."
A rosy flush softened all the hard
lines oXJdiss Putnam's face, as she
thought how long nd bow well she
had liked the Doctor. "And yet,"
she said, in a lour trembling voice,
"1 do not tbink it is exactly right
for a man to offer to marry a woman,
only because she has given him a
horse."
"Marry! Horse!"
Tne doctor stepped back aghast,
aud looked at the flushed ad down
cast face before him.
"I declare she looks prettier than I
ever saw her," he thought, and then,
as she did not speak, be said aloud:
"You spoke about a horse!"
"Yes; did you not find my sorrel
colt, Sultan in your stable to-night?"
"I have not been home to-night,"
he answered. "I have been at the
factory village all the afternoon. A
fever has broken out among the chil
dren, and the parents are nearly fran
tic."
"And you are working very hard.
I knew your old horse wasn't able
to carry you through, and so to-day
I gave Sultan, not to you, but to the
poor and suffering, whom you so faith
fully serve."
With gracious gentleness the doc
tor bent and kissed the hand that
rested on the poorch door, and in the
troublous weeks that followed the
only sign of happier heart-life that the
keen-eyed villagers saw, between
"her" at thirty-six, and "him" at for

Notes Abat Iceland.
On stepping ashore the first thing
the geologist notices is the volcanic
character of every stone and pebble
and grain of sand. The beach is not
white, but black. The gravel on the
streets has the appearance' of black
lead. Theldoot steps are blocks of
black lava, honeycombed by the in
tensity of the heat to which it has
been subjected. One who travels in
Iceland must know the pony wisely,
if not too well for he is the sole
dependence on the roads, which are
many pony paths. There was a
great lot of the little fellows in town
yesterday. They go about in strings,
a stout cord or rope fastening the
lower jaw of one to the tail of the
other. Thus half s dozen are at
tached in aline and the farmer who
has to come to market trots home
ward on the foremost of bis string
of ponies, and the rest, tied tail to
jaw, witn pack: saddles piled with
cods' beads, or other merchandise,
follow, and keep step nicely. The
prevailing color among the ponnies
is sorrel (they are of all the horse
colors though) and they are dis
tinguished by an abundant growth of
bait it is not unusual to see their
tails clipped squarely to prevent them
dragging the ground. This abun
dance of tail hair gives a fastening
for the useful rope that regulates the
next pony in order. A question
arose whether the little fellows were
shod, and an examination of their
feet answered it in the affirmative. I
speak of the ponies as small rascals,
but the term should be understood
in this case as one of endearment
I think one might be justified in pet
ting a neat and docil, long-tailed sor
rel, Iceland pony. It is funny and
admirable to see them rattle along
with dainty and nimble steps over
the everlasting lava, swift and sure
footed under burdens that would
seem sufficient for a large horse an
animal, by the way, tbat could not
get along here at all.
I was mistaken in assuming tbat
there was no road on the island.
There is one of three miles in length,
leading from Rejkiavik toward the
Geysers, and the people enjoy it so
much that I wondered they do not
extend it at least a mile or two fur
ther. I atn able to give in addition
to this information about the road
the fact that there is a cart on the
island. Yesterday I saw its track,
and to-day I saw the thing itself.
The King took a ride of five miles
into the country yesterday and caught
salmon. The process of fishing in
which he indulged is not difficult

boxen, and tumbles through a hole
in each box, making a slight fall.
The hole is guarded on the inside
against exits by long, converging
sticks, and the adventurous fish,
swimming up the river, find the lit
tle waterfall flashing before them,
and seeming to come from a pleasant
pool above, jump it with sufficient force
to plunge them into a box ; and there
tbey are as safe as mice in a trap into
which they have crawled through
sharp wires that yield them admis
sion readily, but forbid return. The
salmon's well-known power and
gameness in jumping waterfalls gives
rise to this contrivance. The King
caught the salmon by inserting in
the trap where they were taken , a
basket net on a pole and scooping
them out In this way fifty-one
were captured during his visit, the
largest weighing twelve pounds and
a half. When his Majesty was weary
of leading out the fish he passed the
spoon net to his son.
It may b bad to look at bonnets
in church, though I am told very ex
cellent ladies have been known to do
it, and whatever the measure of
wickedness the gala head dress of the
ladies of Iceland would command the
attention of even the most pious vis
itors We first saw this head dress in
all its glory in the Cathedral, and it
must be described. The basis of it is
a short horn, made of pasteboard, I
believe, the mouth of which fits the
head an snugly as a silk hat This is a
mistake, but I allow it to stand to give
the first impression. The linen
covering of the pasteboard horn
widens toward tbe head, and is
fastened to the hair with pins ; and
the veil is attached to the front of the
structure thus reared, next the hair,
and thrown back over the horn,
which displays it to great atvantage.
The point of the horn is by a short
curve 'presented to the front. Then
it is covered with snowy linen, or in
case ot extravagance satin, and about
it at tbe bottom is a belt of gold or
silver, while over " all, supported by
the horn, is thrown and fastened a
white veil. It is at once unique and
superb, and produces a fine effect in
a public assembly.
A section of tbe band of the King's
frigate discoursed most excellent
music in the neighborhood of tbe
dancing platform, and there the
dancers were dancing in tune. Many
of the girls looked very nice, and
dance gracefully, their peculiar hoad
dresses decking them with appro
priate splendor. The dancing is some
thing between a German waltz and
Highland fling, and must be highly
enjojable by those endowed with
suppleness of limb and elastic consti
tutions. Tbe dancing by this ex
tremely religious people was on Sun
day evening, and there was no ques
tion among them tbat it was the
proper supplement to the solemn ex
ercises in tbe Cathedral in the morn
ing. Mr. Bayard Taylor was introduced
as the Skald from America. He
quite surprised the people by address
ing them in Danish briefly, but fluent
ly, expressing sentiments of respect
and congratulation. When he bad con
eluded the King, who was standing
in the thick ci the crowd, led the
cheering, giving the Skald the full
and regular three times three. At
the Geysers a few days afterwards
the King told Mr. Taylor he was ex
ceedingly surprised to bear him speak
in Danish, and complimented bim
upon his command of the language.
Tbe immediate approach to Thing-
valla is' through an awful volcanic
fissure, peopled by the raven and the
thrush. A tract of many square
miles has been torn apart from tbe
rest of the island, and where split
and scattered by the convulsion has
sunk from sixty to one hundred feet,
there is reason to suppose, litterally,
into a lake of fire and brimstone.
Tbe Allmen's Tass is the best en
trance to the sunken valley, when
aoprojehing it from the west side,
Half, mile from the Thingvalla
Church a bill of black rock has been
rent in twain, and the inner part has
fallen away so as to make a gap
nearly one hundred yards in width,
and into this was tumbled by tbe
earthquake, to which we are indebt
ed for the temple oi ireeoom, irom
tbe west, a heap of debris, over which
we scrambled, leading the ponies, if
we obey our guides ; and tbat is the
pass. Southward from the valley is
a beautiful lake, and beyond it a
mountain with bold out lines. In
tbe centre of the sunken region is the
holy ground of Iceland. This is tbe
valley in miniature tbat is to say, as
the valley is marked by a huge crack
through the solid rock, the sacred
spot is separated from the surround
ing eountry by like fissures. The
sanctified soil comprises, perhaps,
three acres, and is almost surround
ed by dark clefts, deep in which, in
the heavy shadows, may be seen
crystal streams that flow transparent
as air and without a ripple or mur
mur. A narrow-neck of rock, afford
ing an irregular and cramped footway,
saves tbe solemn enclosure from being
an island, and leaves it an irregular
promontory famed for exclusivenets.
It was here that the Republican Al
thing ' (Parliament) met, and that
the Judges delivered the law from
A. D. 930 to 1262. The central ele
vation, the noly of Holies, is the
rock of the law, an easily sloping
hillock, covered with closely shaven
turf.
We had observed near the Thing
valla parsonage a brush heap (we
should have denominated it in Ohio),
and learned that it was invaluable
firewood. Before reachingthe ravine
we had an opportunity of viewing
tbe forest whence this treasure was
obtained, and where happily much
more of the name sort may be had.
The ''timber" is for the greater part,
dwarf birch, and is wonderfull gnarl
ed and twisted, and crouching close
to the ground, evading thus the full
fury of the winter winds. In its
greatest development this brushwood
resembles in dimensions our tall
hlarkhArrr and elder bushes, and an
Icelandic forest certainly presents the
most favoraoie opportunity in me
world for obtaining crooked sticks.
A straight stick, or even one growing
generally in tne same direction, long
enough for a cane was not to be found,
though looked for with Bome solici

Roman Catholic Miracle.
Rev. Father Krautbauer, Chaplain
of the Convent of Xotre Dame, - in
Milwaukee, Wis., has given tbe edi
tor of the Catholic Vindicator what
he calls "the facts" concerning a
miracle that was performed at the
chapel of tbe convent on the 17th of
June last, through tbe interposition
of the Blessed Yirginr in behalf of a
faithful and dovoted client, Miss
Maria Rossmann, a native of Hano
ver, aged at the time over nineteen
year?. He says:
"The particulars regarding the pic
ture before which the above-named
individaal poured fourth her devo
tions immediately before her miracn
krutj cure are as follows: Right Rev
Bishop Henci, when about to return
from the late Vatican Council, pur
chased an exact copy, as regards size,
character of painting, and material,
having been painted on wood, of the
miraculous picture of our mother of
Perpetuil Succor, preserved in he
Church of St. Alphongas of the
Redemptorist Fathers, in Rome, this
copy having been blessed by the
Holy Jt atner, l ius lv, and touched
to the original miraculous picture
itself, lit. nev. cisnop Henni. for tbe
sake of greater security in the convey
ance of the picture to it3 destination,
caused it to be boxed, labeling both
tbe box and the picture itself with
the address of the School Sisters of
Notre Bame, Milwaukee, and shipped
in another vessel than tbat on which
he himself sailei on his return. It
arrived safely, and 13' now located
over the virgin's alter in the above
named convent, and before it the mir
acle we are about to relate took
place. The following are the par
ticulars in a brief form: Maria Ross
mann was taken seriously ill in Sep
tember, 1873 in the convent above
named, being at the time a candidate.
The best medical attendance the city
could furnish Wa3 engaged to treat
her, all declaring her case to be pul
monary consumption. She continued
to decline until all hope of recovery
was abandoned even by her physi
cians. v hen her condition was pro
nounced hopeless, on 21st of Febroa-
ry last, the chaplain administered to
ner tne last sacraments of holy euchra
ist,and extreme unctionjsho wa3 at the
time so weak as to be unable to leave
her bed and could only bo removed
by the hands of others. She linger
ed, declining, until May 25th,: when
the cnapiam agaiu administered tbe
tioiy laticnm, and the benediction
of tbe church in articvlo mortis;
then her physicians declared that she
could not survive more than twenty
four hours. -In this condition she
begged of the Sisters to carry her in
to the chapel, that there she might
pray for a little time.- After much
urging on her part her supposed dy
ing request was granted, she was
taken to the chaple and there prayed
before the picture aforementioned for
about one quarter of an hour; she
then rose, alone, walked through the
convent, presenting herselfbefore the
Sisters and joyfully proclaimed her
self cured. Drs. Zelowski and Flynn,
her previous attendants, were notified
of the change, but declined to credit
tbe stated cure until they had ocular
proof. Tbey called and saw the girl,
when they pronounced the cure a
miracle, and expressed themselves as
ready to testifyto its miraculous
origin. Lest the cure might prove
transient, or be only apparent and
due to nervons excitement, nothing
was sa'd about the matter. The pa
tient was sent into the country, from
which she returned improved, and
has continued to improve, and at
present is enjoying good health and
is able to perform a full share of tbe
arduous labors of tbe establishment
We have seen the Bubject of tbe
miriele. and are personally able to
vouch for her apparently fully restor
ed health, and we are also able to
vouch for the perfect reliability of
the source from which these facts are
derived."
Old Catholics.
A South German paper relates the
following: In a Bavarian town of the
most pronounced Catholic orthodoxy,
the priest preached lately against the
Old Catholics, and related such hor
rible things about them tbat his
pious hearers were literally horror
stricken at Old Catholics impieties
At last the preacher cried out ; "The
Old Catholics are so vile that ther
will all be cast into tbe pit. and if
what I tell yoa is not true, may the
devil take me now on tbe spot!"
His excitement was terrible, and he
so struck the cushion tbat the book
fell from it. Not far from the pulpit
sat an American, who had a negro
servant with him. to whom he beck
oned to take the book to - the priest,
who, perhaps, bad never seen one of
these sons of Ham in bis lite, lbe
negro at once obeyed, and as he
mounted tbe lowest ot the pulpit
steps, the clenrvman repeated his
wish that the devil might come and
take him if what he said against the
Old Catholics was not true.
Although the negro went softly,
the preacher heard hia footsteeps,
and turning round, saw a black ob
ject solemnly, steadily and surely ap
proaching him. He looked at mm
with terror, and believing tbat he
would be the next instant collared by
his Satanic Majesty, be cried out, in
a trembling voice, "Jt is, after an,
possible tbat there may be good peo
ple among the Uia uamoncs - a uea
turning round to see if the object bad
disappeared, he saw it still steadily
approaching. Tbe per9piration burst
out on his brow, and full of despair
he cried out, "There are even many
good people among the Old Catho
lics." Thinking that this would suf
fice, be turned round, but what was
his horror to find tbat tbe object was
close at hand. Imagining himself in
the very irrasp of Beelzebub, turning

The terrified priest fainted from
fright, and it was only after some
time that he recovered.

Large numbers of wild horses
abound on the prairie between tbe
Arkansas and Smoky Hill Rivers.
They are all sizes and colors, and are
the wildest of all wild animals. They
usually roam in bands of six to twen
ty, and will run at sight of man two
miles away. A great many domestic
horses, as well as mules, which, have
strayed away from their owners, have
takea up with the wild ones. After
running with them for a while, they
become as wild as tbeir untamed
companions. Yarious methods have
been adopted to catch these aborigi
nal horses, but they have generally
proved fruitless. A scrubby colt or
broken down mule are, as a general
thing, tbe only rewards for all the
time, labor and expense in such vis
ion arv schemes. Settlers on the fron
tier would hail their speedy extinc
tion as a blessing, for when domestic
animals get with them, their recove
ry is simply out of tbe question.
Ever since the first emigrant turn
ed his footsteps toward the Pacific
this country has been infested with a
thoroughly organized gang af high
waymen and horse-thieves, and few
have reached their destiuation with
out losing stock. They hover around
emigrant trains like vultures over a
carcass, waiting for a favorable op
portunity to pounce upon their un
snspecting prey. I know of one out
fit, the " Chicago Mining Company, "
that left that place in the Spring for
Silver City, that had nearly all tbeir
stock, some seventy-five head, stolen
before tbey had got halfway to their
destination. Tbe expedition nad to
be abandoned, and most of tbe par
ties returned, sadder but wiser men.
Seldom or never is a horse thief ar
rested ; and if by some hocus pom
one is gobbled, it is simply impossi
ble to convict him, as he always has
a host of " friends " ready and anx
ious to prove his innocence. But
their day has come. The country is
being settled by a class of people
that will protect themselves against
these outlaws, and compell them to
seek other climes to carry on their
nefarious work.

It is said there must be a last man
in a procession ; and it must aiways
be so until some way is discovered of
making up tbe procession in a circle,
and then giving it motion like a
rotary shell, turning round on its own
axes and going strait aneaa aiso.
This man i3 a weary, worn, pathetic
creature, who looks as u lite was a
burden to him. He is a rusty, seedy
biped, without any good clothes.' JNo
stars blaze on his breast. uanner
shields him from the fiery sun. His
ears never bear tbe inspiring notes
of the band. Tie catches all the dust
of the procession. Bystanders rush
in front of hira with impunity. He
has no pride at all. There is no pomp
about him. no majesty of mien, ne
always looks sick, tired, dishevelled,
and forlorn. Small boys jeer at him.
Bus drivers eontemptously order
him out of their way. Reckless
young men make desperate efforts to
drive over him. He gets mixed up
among newsboys bootblacks, yellow
dogs, advertising wagons, fan sellers,
drays, and frantic women rushing
after erratic children; and losses tbe
procession, and by the time he regains
it be is a poor, narra3sea, aejeciea
man, and a brother, and an object
of universal pity. The chances are
that if he does not go off with sun
stroke or get run over by an ice?
cart, and have to be taken home in
an express wagon, he will, as the re
sult of tbe pathetic situation, get
drunk with a remarkable dispatch
before sunset So long as there must
be a last man in every, procession,
t.here should be some compensation
He should be made attractive. Let
him be handsomely decorated and
caparisoned. Let him have two
aprons. Let him carry a banner and
have an American flag in ha hat
Let him also have a drawn sword
with which to keep off the small
boys and yellow dogs, and thus tbe
last man in the procession will cease
to be the most wretched object in
existence.

"My age and experience as a phy

A litter of leaves ia the hor3 gun

Besides, the leaves absorb the ammo

make the manure of much more

plentifully around the roots of your

how beneficial is their effect
Aside from the pra?tical use of

A tarer Hen Story.
From West Chester, Pa., there
comes to us the following sad story
of a well-meaning hen : A man by
the name of Lot Fithian, of that
place, bad been the owner of a hen,
that, to all appcarauce, was just like
others of her tribe, except that she
had ceased to perform tbe functions
of a well behaved madam chicken
she didn't lay any eggs. This was
all tbe more singular when it was
observed that she did not show a dis
position to "cluck." The hen seem
ed to thrive and eat well, but it was
evident she bad something on her
mind. She seemed weighed down
with grief of some undischarged duty.
A few days ago Mr. Fithiau killed
the chicken, and on directing her dis
covered twenty-eight full seized, well
shaped eggs, the only difference be
tween them nnd marketable eggs be
ingtbat they were minus a bard shell.
Tbe cause of the poor hen's despond
ency was now explained. She had
done her duty; had prepared her egg3
for delivery, but owing to some ob
struction nature refused to perform
her share of the work. What would
have been tbe ultimate consequence
of this had tbe hen been allowed to
live -on we are not prepared to say;
but it certainly i a strange, freak of
nature, the similitude of which' we
have never before heard of.

The London Spectator tells an
amusing story which has a very per
ceptible point to it A materialistic
lectures and a city missionary met
before a very intelligent audience to
discuss tbe question of personal res

theorists of the advanced school in
clined negatively. To illustrate his
tbeorr le ma'ierialist pointed out
to hi bearers tLe fact, now pretty

in replv expressed his sorrow that
be should be engaged in discussion
with a man who was living with a
woman to whom he wa3 not married.
The materialist rose angrily te his
feet to repudiate the assault upon his
wife. The missionary retorted tbat
according to his own showing the
materialist was by no means the
